How to Prevent and Fix an Air Conditioner Freeze-Up
How to Keep Pests Out of Your Air Conditioner- Call (702) 869-8093 Comfort Masters in Las Vegas for an HVAC inspection. Air conditioners provide a cool and comfortable home during the summer months, but they can also attract pests. Insects and rodents can build nests in and around AC units, which can damage the unit and reduce its efficiency. You can take a few steps to protect your AC unit from pests and keep your home pest-free.
Maintain the lawn around your AC unit. Keep the grass short and weeds trimmed to prevent pests from hiding and nesting near your unit. Also, fill in any holes in the ground and remove any standing water.
Install screens on vents and ducts. This will prevent pests from entering your home through your AC system. You can purchase screens specifically designed for AC units, or you can use window mesh.
Clean your AC unit regularly. Remove any debris or dust that has accumulated around the unit. You can also use a mild soap and water solution to clean the unit’s condenser coils.
Schedule regular maintenance for your AC unit. A qualified technician can inspect your unit for signs of pest damage and make any necessary repairs.
Here are some additional tips to help keep pests away from your AC unit:
• Keep your gutters clean and free of debris. This will help prevent water from pooling around your AC unit.
• Seal any cracks or gaps in your home’s foundation and exterior walls. This will make it more difficult for pests to enter your home.
• Store food in airtight containers and keep your kitchen clean. This will help reduce the number of pests that are attracted to your home in the first place.
